Halsey is back on stage — and back in Badlands. On Tuesday night (October 14), the pop visionary kicked off her Back to Badlands Tour in Los Angeles, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the album that launched her career.

The long-awaited trek marks Halsey’s sixth headlining tour and follows her recent For My Last Trick Tour, which wrapped in July after 30 North American shows supporting her 2024 album The Great Impersonator. Now, she’s revisiting the world that made her a global star, giving fans a refreshed experience of her debut era.

The tour, announced in August, includes 22 shows across North America, Europe, and Australia, running through February 2026. Following the Los Angeles opener, Halsey will perform in Mexico City, Dallas, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington D.C., Minneapolis, Chicago, and Denver before heading abroad in January. The international leg features stops in Toronto, New York, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, London, Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne — where the tour wraps on February 19.

To accompany the tour, Halsey released a Badlands (10th Anniversary Edition) on August 29, featuring remastered tracks and new music videos for “Gasoline” and “Drive.” The re-release reignited love for the album, which originally debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in 2015 and has since gone double platinum in the U.S.
